The average dog 's pregnancy is about nine weeks, or sixty-three days. It's normal for a dog to deliver anywhere between fifty-eight and sixty-eight days, however. In the early stages of gestation, it may be hard to tell if the animal is expecting, since weight gain and behavioral changes only occur in the latter weeks.
